Additional or revised Nominet operational standards, policies, procedures, and practices for the Registry TLDs shall be effective upon 90 calendar days’ notice by Nominet to Registrar, save that Nominet may amend or introduce such operational standards, policies, procedures and practices for the Registry TLD upon 30 calendar days’ prior notice, in the event of an emergency or where it is necessary to make such changes due to the imposition of a new or altered requirement by ICANN that affects the operation of the Registry TLDs.

• with respect to proceedings commenced under the Uniform Rapid Suspension (“URS”), Registrar must accept and process payments for the renewal of a domain name by a URS Complainant in cases where the URS Complainant prevailed; provided, however, that the Registrar must not renew a domain name to a URS Complainant who prevailed for longer than one year (3.6.3);

In addition to the provisions of 3.6, Registered Name Holder shall (3.7):
